Two Song Cycles featured in Mannes College of Music Concert

On June 30, 2010, the Mannes Col­lege of Music was treated to some really great per­for­mances of two song cycles of mine. Soprano Sofia Dim­itrova, accom­pa­nied by Sophia Munoz, per­formed Time is Not an Option. After the inter­mis­sion, Sofia Dim­itrova was joined by mezzo Christina Goyne in pre­mier­ing Four Shake­speare Songs in Madri­gal Style. These scores, by the way, are avail­able at RDRussell.com — just click on “compositions.”

Here’s sev­eral pics from the evening (click to enlarge).
